Zakaj se najstniki zdijo toliko bolj impulzivni in slabše zavedajoči se samih sebe kot odrasli? Kognitivna nevroznanstvenica Sarah-Jayne Blakemore primerja prefrontalno skorjo najstnikov z odraslimi, da nam pokaže, kako je tipično "najstniško" vedenje posledica rastočih in razvijajočih se možganov.
